Tradescanthia Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have been a walker all my life, love taking dogs and camera as well. luck running out lately, bad arthritis in feet, lung removed due to cancer, so walks are much shorter and slower these days. Rough terrain is very difficult so i struggle to average 1 mile per hour. But I persevere. As long as I can breathe I will go for a walk and I love every minute of it despite the pain which is worse in cold weather. I envy you lot who are still fit, enjoy it while you can. Its the healthiest entertainment in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwkittie Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You've just reminded me that we've got some mulled wine... somewhere It was hot choc with Cointreau last Sunday though (following a dog walking sledge ride, complete with ski gear and winter walking boots) Oh my hot choc and cointreau sounds divine! Last Sunday I wore my luminous pink ski jacket with my wooly bobble hat and was too hot! But god damnit I looked sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yes I am, bloody love it. I camp in luxury with the wife and kid at designated camp sites, or rough it camping wild (naughty!) with the mates, wherever we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patient may not feel cold, but the arthritis reacts badly to it. Wear all the warm clothes you want....you wont stop it. Thats why its literally incurable..
